About the role

  • We are looking for a Community Engagement Manager in Virginia and West Virginia to join our Public Policy team and serve as Anthropic's on-the-ground presence in the communities where our data centers are sited, built, and operated.
  • This is not a communications role or a government affairs role, though you will do elements of both.
  • It is a relationship role: your job is to make Anthropic a trusted, visible, and valued neighbor, from the earliest stages of site selection through construction and long-term operations.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute a community engagement strategy for each of your markets, spanning site selection, pre-development, construction, and ongoing operations
  • Partner with the Real Estate and Infrastructure team to bring community input into how projects are planned, communicated, and delivered, not just how they are announced
  • Work with the Communications team to develop proactive, locally relevant messaging
  • Coordinate charitable giving, community investment, and economic development commitments in your markets, including managing nonprofit partner relationships
  • Partner with the Energy and Sustainability team to explain our approach to environmental stewardship and respond to questions about power, water, noise, transmission, and land use
  • Build a community engagement playbook and repeatable processes that scale as Anthropic's infrastructure footprint grows
  • A skilled relationship and coalition builder who earns trust with a diverse group of stakeholders, and who maintains relationships through difficult conversations
  • We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications.

Requirements

  • Experience in community affairs, public affairs, economic development, government relations, local or state government, or a closely related field
  • The ability to represent a company credibly in public settings, including town halls, hearings, and press interviews
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to turn a complex operational plan into plain language that a local official or reporter can understand and respond to
  • Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
  • Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
  • Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Nice to have

  • 7+ years of experience in community engagement specifically on data center, utility, energy, or large-scale industrial infrastructure projects, or in local government
  • Familiarity with land use, zoning, and permitting processes at the county and municipal level, including rezoning and special use permit hearings in Virginia
  • Experience with community concerns around data center siting, such as noise, transmission lines, water, and proximity to residential areas
  • Experience managing corporate social responsibility programs
  • Established relationships with economic development, workforce, or civic organizations in the markets this role covers, including in Appalachian and energy-transition communities
  • Experience working with real estate, legal, communications, and policy teams at the same time
  • A genuine interest in the communities where you work, not just the projects you are managing

Compensation

  • $265,000 - $295,000 USD

Company info

  • We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
  • At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts.

Visa & Work Authorization

  • We do sponsor visas!
  • However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate.
  • But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
